Meet our goat Daisy

So I know most of you know that I own a couple of goats, well meet Daisy. In the summer time she enjoys eating my roses and getting out of where she is suppose to be. She likes long periods of time tied up to the chain (must be the only reason why she gets […]

I looked out the window and what did I see…?

POPCORN flying sideways down my street! This was around 2pm today! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? It was blowing so hard that we didn’t know which way it was comming from! When I went to pick up the boys from school I couldnt even see the kids come out of their classrooms! Thank goodness there’s nowhere […]

Nate turns 8

We got to spend the weekend with Jake (after 5pm on Friday and Saturday) at his parents house and got to spend Nate’s Birthday with Jake’s family. It was wonderful to see Jake the kids need that, I NEED that! We’re really excited that Jake gets to baptize Nate next weekend up in Salt Lake.

Moda Anyone?

Okay so this last year I got a little in over my head and ordered wholesale through Moda fabric these adorable 5X5 squares to make table runners and sell them, and yes I sold quite a few of them at the craft show that I did a while back, but I am still swimming in […]

A few things I’ve learned about Cows

So yes, since moving to Loa, I’ve come to learn a few new things. Some of which are: the sounds of cows doing the nasty in our backyard is loud enough to wake you up in the middle of the night. Your kids will be curious as to why one cow is trying to play […]

You decide 2008

Okay so I know you are asking “WHY would you cover up that lovely ’70’s lacquered, dark wood cabinet?” I know you’re jealous it’s not in your home, but I’m a little tired of looking at it. So I’m going to paint it. This is the color that is in question. Ralph Lauren calls it […]

SHE DID IT!

Well Katie did it! SHE WALKED! No pictures yet because every time she started to do it we all yelled excitedly and it freaked her out so she would sit down and cry. It’s just like my kids to wait till the last day before you have to call the doctor to see if they […]

And we can all sigh in relief

tutorials

Well Jake did it, he defended his dissertation last week and it went smoothly, They congratulated him and told him he could call himself a “Doctor”. Now all I have to do while he’s deployed is doing the wrap ups (signatures here, bounding a book there…) and my man will be graduating with his PhD.! […]

I made that!

Okay with a lot of help of my wonderful friend Monica who guided my hand the whole time in making Katie’s kitchen. I finally finished it today (it just needs a few touch ups of paint) but oooh yeah I did my first woodworking job! By the way the little oven part does open up […]

Grosser than Gross

What’s gross?: Splash, Splash…Katie playing in the toilet What’s grosser than that?: Speee, Splash Splash, Kyle yelling “NOOO KATIE!!”…Katie playing in the toilet, while Kyle pee’s and then trying to grab the stream of pee! GROSS!!!! For some reason the girl can’t get her mind off the toilet! She loves it…whenever she’s missing in action […]

Snow = Goggles

So we got A LOT of snow the other day and Kyle went and got his goggles out, and wore them all day long, he even fell asleep with them on and anytime we tried to take them off he would freak out so apparently you need goggles when there is snow outside in kyle’s […]
